DICFF is about celebrating comedy in film.
So often comedy is overlooked in favour of drama. Drama is in fact easier to write, direct and perform.
Comedy is much more difficult and you know if you've succeeded or failed by how many laughs you get!
So, DICFF is here to ensure comedy gets it's due. We want to support our comedic storytellers and celebrate your craft.
in 2024, we implemented a brand new Comedian Competition! We had stand-up heats throughout the summer of 2024 and we had 5 finalists perform at DICFF 2024 in November during the film festival dates: Nov 27th to 30th. The winner: Breda Hegarty won an all paid expenses trip to New Jersey USA to perform at our sister festival in March 2025, "The Irish American Comedy Film Fleadh".
Hannah Mamalis won the Count Basie Spirit of Fest Award for her short film "Baby Steps" & also won an all paid expenses trip to New Jersey USA to our sister film festival to watch her short being screened there.
Now, based at the sumptuous Tailors Hall in D8, we will ensure that you will have a gorgeous time watching hilarious films in this historical building, famous for it's Irish Revolutionary roots with famous Irish revolutionary Wolf Tone having his meetings here.
